United Welsh will ask you to pay for repairs if you or your visitors damage or neglect the house or flat.

Once your repair is reported

We will order the work from our contractors. Sometimes our Maintenance Officers will need to inspect it first. Unless it is an emergency or very urgent we will write giving the name and telephone number of the contractor who is going to do the repair. The letter will also tell you what the job is, how long it will take to do and the job number.
